Don’t miss the ‘How to Train Your Dinosuar’ Show – full of slapstick mischief, educational entertainment and lots of magical moments! Fun for dinosaur wranglers of all ages, come and learn how to train your own dinosaurs with the help of some rather sneaky, cheeky dinosaurs!

Watch out! Dodos about! (16 August only)

Despite all the odds, an unknown subspecies of the dodo has been discovered!

Much larger than their extinct cousins and able to fly (sort of), Charles and Amelia, two relics of a bygone era, are very excited to be travelling the world to see what they’ve been missing.

Keep your eyes peeled for these brightly coloured dodos and their riders as they make their way around the park. Make sure you stop for a picture with them if you visit us on Saturday 16 August.

Discover over 20 lost species made from toy bricks!

Marvel at the giant mammoth, pose with a giant dinosaur egg, approach a growling dire wolf, and more…

With more than 20 sculptures crafted from over 2 million toy bricks, pick up your map on entry to make sure you find them all.

Hear tales from our palaeontologist

Join our costumed palaeontologist to hear tales of times past, and discover more about the lost species of Extinction.

Each tale will last 15 minutes, and sessions will take place every half hour between 6.30pm – 8pm. Check the Marwell Zoo app for details.

Meet the builders!

Meet the minds behind the bricks! The team from Iconic Bricks will be here to share how they built these spectacular creations. Get your questions ready for them!

Help build a sabre-toothed tiger

Ice cream tasters!

We’re delighted to welcome Jude’s Ice Cream, who will be offering free samples from their ice cream cart. Which flavour will be your favourite?

Explore the zoo too!

Meet our resident animals and learn how our conservation efforts are helping protect the animals you love.

On 16 August, make sure you visit our scimitar-horned oryx herd as we celebrate the very first International Scimitar-horned Oryx Day. Once Extinct in the Wild, this antelope species has been brought back from the brink of extinction by the conservation efforts of Marwell and partners around the world.

Most of our animal houses will be open until 8pm. Please note Wallaby Walkthrough, Life Among the Trees and the okapi house will be closed.
